Free uint for n Fortune.

"There's a fortune awaiting the man
who will open hasty pudding eating
houses in New York city," said an old
hotel man, land if l was young I'd do

very well. BE opened a coy little res
taurant on DEFY street forty odd years
ago. AT that time there was more travel
to New York by the night boats ON the
Sound and Hudson river proportional;y
than now, and Parker's place was very
convenient for travellers to get their
breakfast. He always had blazing fire

keeper here to give his customers the
papers while they waited.
He made a speciality of buckwheat
cakes, and no man in the city before or
since ever made such cakes. He expert
mented and had recipe of his own. The
cakes We're light, yet substantial, round
at the bottom of the plate, crisp but not
greasy, and preserved just enough of the
peculiar flavor of the buckNvheat. Park
er's buckwhcats became famous, and he
made a very large fortune. He built n
place on the North river, and was worth
a million when he died. There's some
consolation in earning million and feel
ing that every penny of it represented a
delightful equivalent.

Low caste % califernIa chinese.

The best proof of the low caste of the
Chinese in California is afforded by their
faces. 1t is rare that one sees an intelli-
gent face with any signs of good breed
ing in stroll through the Chinese quarter
of San Francisco. A few wholesale mer-
chants there are of fine education, and the
consulate contains several Chinese of
high rank. These men have regular feat
ures, clean skin, and great dignity of
manner. In their rich silken dresses they
stalk through the crowds of unsayory cool
les with an air that seems to say:
There are human swine whose touch
would detile the hem of our garments. .
In fact, there is no greater living per-
sonificatitn of pride of station than tho
Chinese mandarin. With his strongly
marked features, his clear, pale, olive
skin, his intelligent eye, and his naughty
bearing, he presents the greatest contrast

Two years ago, when the Jersey Lily
visited San Francisco, her attention WAS
directed TO a bright eyed native of Cam

that it would Ike surprise 10 her New

entered into between Wong AfOo's father
and Mrs Iangtry, and the result was
that the boy entered into her service.

Coniugnl Love Amonc nIonkeys,

Very striking examples of conjugal
love are found among certain monoga-
nous monkeys. 1t has been observed
especially in the American marmosct,
which, on the other hand, shows in the
case of the females weakness of mater
nal feeling. The female of this species
having become tired of holding her off
spring, las been seen to call the male to
take care of it in his turn.
One of the marnosets of the Jardin

husband was irconsolable. He caressed
for a long tImc the corpse of his COM
panion. and when he was convinced of
her t'satl, he put his hand over his eyes
and remained mOtionless, without taking
food, until lie succumbed himself. The
macaque wandcroo also has only one
female, and remains faithful to her until
death. Henry Howard in Cosmopolitan.

TRIBES OF LITTLE FOLKS.
The Three Most Notable Communities Of
Dwarfs in Africa


DSvarfs in Africa.
A while ago Mr.. Grenfell of the Congo
missions encountered on the Bosari river,
south of the Congo. the Batwa dwarfs
whom Stanley mentions in 'sThe Dark
Continent, though Stanley did not see
them. Grenfell says these little people
exist over a large extent of country, their
villages being scattered here and there
among other tribes. Wissman and Pogge
also met them few years ago in their
journey to Nyangwe.
It was long supposed that the story of
Herodotus about the pigniies of Africa
was mythical, hut within the past twenty
years abundant evidence has accumulated
of the existence of number of tribes of
curious little folks in equatorial Africa.
The chief among these tribes are tho
Aka, whom Schweinfurth found north
west of Albert Nyassa; the Obongo, dis
covered by Du Chaillu in West Africa,
southeast of Gaboon, and the Batwa
south of Congo.
These little people range in height from
feet 2 inches to. about feet 8 inches.
They are intellectually as well as physic-
ally inferior to the other tribes of Africa.
They are perhaps nearer the brute king
dom than any other human beings. The

of clothing; make no hrlts except to bend
over and fasten to the ground the tops of
three or four young trees, which they
cover with leaves; possess no arts except
the making of bows and arrows, and do
not till the soil. They live on the smaller
game of the forest, and on nuts and ber-
ries. They regard the leopard, which
, now and then makes a meal of one of
them, as their deadliest enemy. They
live only a few days or weeks in one
place, burying themselves in some other
part of the interminable woods as soon as
the nuts and other food supplies near
their camp begin to grow scarce.
When SclIweinfurth first met the Aka
dwarfs he found himself surrounded by
what he supposed was Il crowd of impu-
dent boys. There were several hundred
of them, and he soon found that they
We're yeritable dwarfs, and that their
tribe probably numbered several thousand
souls. One of these dwarfs was taken to
Italy few years ago, was taught to
read, and excited much interest among
scientific men. There are other tribes of
dwarfs in Abyssinia and also in Somali-
land.-New York Sun.

a foam with Go1den Horseshoes.


In the year 1855 storekeeper named
Donald Cameron, carrying on business
in what was known as the Woolslied,
Victoria, was elected first member of par
lament for the Ovens district. and he had
the honor-u unique in the history of the
colony-of being driven i'll triumph from
the Woolslled into Beechworth in a gig
with tandem team, the leading horse of
which was shod with gold.
just before the election an eccentric in
dividual, known as Tinker Brown, who
had made a lot of money on the diggins,
suddenly purchased circus, with tents,
horses. and wagons complete. and, COM
ing into Beechworth with his company,
he offered to drive the newly elected
member. and supply golden horseshoes
for the occasion. The Woolshed bosses,
who were greatly elated at the result of
the election, warmly took up Brown s
idea, and they resolved, in addition, to
present their member with diamond
scarf pin.
The horseshoes We're made by a work
ing ieweler named Tofield. and weighed
nine ounces each. The team was driven
from Woolslled TO BecchwortI, and back
as far as La Serena hill. On removing
